I think honestly I was bound to end up an ally to the movement because if nothing else my dream job was always to be a therapist who specialized in [I Am a Feminist]
female clients...
turns out I actually feel better about myself when I can get women to open up about their lives and their problems, rather than how some men feel frustrated at people who complain or the ones who feel that doing that emotional lifting for you is a Burden they don't want to put up with, I seem to have a therapist gene in me that if nothing else gets comfort and self worth from a barrel of alturism.
I know to psychologist too as someone that's interested in psychology it's well recognized that among the most sophisticated and fucking POTENT defense mechanisms is alturism and given my soft spot for Women's lib and their struggle is as sensitive as it actually is it was pretty much inevitable even if I couldn't really stomach sitting through the degree I was going to find INTENSE oodles of self worth out of actually helping women out.
I am a philogynist- that word is not used often enough. our Culture does not spare too many words for the absolute adoration of women.
but I am quiet fond of women. Sue me.
